I didn't mean at all to diminish Valentino's achievements and talent. He is without doubt the best rider that ever was. My point was more about the bike and Ducati in particular. They are very inventive lot and always looked for unique engineering solutions. However it seems that lately they have lost the plot by insistance on being different just for the sake of it. I mean the frames (chssis). The welded pipes were abandoned a long time ago by all except Ducati. It seems to bite them up the arse now and Valentino got caught in the midst of it. If Jeremy with a rider like Rossi can not get it going, I would say it is time for a serious re-thinking or they are fu&^%ked untill they do.
Interestingly though Hector Barbera who rides a Ducati was 8th (till the last corner) and it is not a factory supported bike. So
